Whites from the Huasco Valley boast a distinctive character, influenced by the unique terroir at the edge of the Atacama Desert, the world's driest, and its proximity to the sea, just 14 kilometers away. Located on the Huasco River bed, the vineyards produce intensely flavored wines. This Chardonnay, a blend of two vineyards with alluvial and saline soils, underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in a 2,000-liter foudre and two 1,000-liter concrete eggs. The result is an eccentric yet highly drinkable wine. Unlike many "natural" wines that prioritize eccentricity, it offers clarity, enticing aromas, and ripe white fruit flavors in a juicy, enjoyable package.
